Three oil paintings deemed fakes and locked away for half a century have been found to be genuine works by landscape artist JMW Turner.
The oils were left to the National Museum Wales in 1951 by Gwendoline and Margaret Davies of Llandinam, Powys, but discounted in 1956.
Curator Beth McIntyre said the works had "gone from being worth thousands to being worth millions".
